These are the representatives of Israel?!!



Let us be intelligent, moral and confident representatives of the truth.


(Note the clip has a few inappropriate words.)


Let us not think Israel has won or that this war is over. These few weeks have bought the Palestinian cause into people’s homes and onto the streets like never before. Even People who used to be pro Israel now view Israel as fascist Nazi war mongers. And Israel know very well that they are increasingly losing face and have resorted to paying people to gain public support as this article in the guardian shows.

The PR War is one we can all fight and it takes as little as a few minutes s every day. Let’s not let this be out of sight out and out of mind and let’s not let the fever and restlessness stop.

I for one am not going to let people forget this massacre. Usually when I’ve put the kids to bed I study, read, keep up with the news. From now on I’m going to send at least 2 email a day explaining the Palestinian cause including some pictures and news footage in each one.
To Who? MPs, charities - local and international, Journalists, possibly eventually even large businesses and celebs or ex celebs (many tend to retire into politics as I learned from those who are fighting for the closure of Guantanamo). It will literally take me 2 minutes and no more each day as I already have my letter written and will just need to edit it each time with a name and email address of the recipient.

The genocide of the people in Gaza has left me surprised as to how little people know about the Middle East. That people are Surprised at the ‘war crimes’ –that are in reality far worse than we have heard or can even imagine, that Palestine isn't even called Palestine anymore but is referred to as the Palestinian territories. And that Muslims were surprised at the Arab Leaders non – action.

The meaning of Hayaa

Hayaa itself is derived from the word hayaat which means life.

In English, it may be translated as modesty, shyness, self-respect, bashfulness, shame, honour, etc.

The original meaning of Hayaa according to a believer's nature, refers to a bad and painful feeling accompanied by embarrassment, caused by one's fear of being exposed or censured for some unworthy or indecent conduct.

"Surely Allaah (is One who) has hayaa and is the Protector. He loves hayaa and people who cover each others faults." Saheeh al-Bukhaaree

"Every way of life has a innate character. The character of Islaam is hayaa." Abu Daawood

"Hayaa does not bring anything except good." al-Bukhaaree

"Hayaa comes from eeman; eeman leads to Paradise. Obscenity comes from antipathy; and antipathy leads to the fire." al-Bukhaaree

"Hayaa and Trustworthiness will be the first to go from this world; therefore keep asking Allaah for them." al-Bayhaaqee

"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allaah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty..." [Soorah an-Noor (24):30-31]

Motion and Progress.
